The Fundamentals
present a blend of music that combines pop/rock oldies, classic country, party favorites, and variety. Featuring veteran musicians
and vocalists, the group can provide listening and dancing music for many different entertainment settings. Illinois
and Missouri area music lovers may be familiar with Fundamentals members' other successful groups: Rusty Halo, the
band for the 55 KUSA Roadshow w/Frank O’Pinion; or The Boomers, a dance/show band which performed at many corporate
and private events in the St. Louis metro area and throughout Central Illinois. Featuring bassist Kevin Leitheiser and keyboardist
Sandy Leitheiser, those groups opened shows for B. J. Thomas, The Chi-Lites, The Shirelles, The Crystals, The Paul
Robi Platters, and Bertie Higgins . Now joined by guitarist Rick Gasparin and drummer Gary Morris, The Fundamentals continue
the tradition of quality performances. The Springfield, Illinois' weekly social/entertainment newspaper, The Illinois
Times, has selected The Fundamentals as their "IT" pick on eight different occasions.
